Hockey is back! The St. Louis Blues kickoff their first home game of the season against the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday, October 15, and Metro Transit is a great option to enjoy the pre-game rally at Union Station and home opener at Enterprise Center, all while avoiding heavy traffic, construction and parking issues.

The festivities begin with a special Home Opener Rally at St. Louis Union Station from 2:30-4:45 p.m. The rally is free and features live music, appearances by Blues VIPs,  fun activities, food and drinks, and more. The big game against the Minnesota begins at 7 p.m. at the Enterprise Center, located just one block east from the pre-game rally.
